Semax CAS:80714-61-0

Semax is a nootropic stimulant of the central nervous system. It has a wide range of actions: it boosts neuroplasticity and increases glutamatergic and cholinergic activity thus improving memory, focus, mental and physical performance; it helps to recover after ischemic stroke and other head traumas; it increases dopamine and serotonin levels and as a result reducing depression, anxiety and sleep disorders; it is also possible to use Semax to prevent signs of Alzheimer’s and other degenerative cognitive disorders due to aging.

Semax is a heptapeptide, synthetic analog of an ACTH(4-10) fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone. It has a wide spectrum of actions, and at the same time, lacks hormonal activity and side effects. As a nootropic, Semax improves the processes associated with memory formation and learning. As an anxiolytic, Semax increases the levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain thus achieving a balanced and stable mood. As a neuroprotector, Semax helps to reduce damaged cells caused by oxidative stress, provides positive effect on cerebral blood flow, increases resistance to hypoxia, prevents and reduces brain damage caused by stroke. As a neurotropic Semax stimulates the growth and survival of developing neurons as well as maintenance of mature neurons thus increasing the expression of neurotrophins in messenger RNA (Ribonucleic acid) and protein levels. Semax has curative properties against glaucoma optic neuropathy, optic nerve atrophy and diabetic neuropathy, as well as peptic ulcer.
